You enter a Pro Bundle licence key.<\/strong> This sends the key together with your site\naddress so the licence can be activated for that site. While a licence is active the\nsite also re-checks periodically that it is still valid and whether a Pro update is\navailable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\nService provided by Freemius, Inc. - https:\/\/freemius.com\/\nTerms of service: https:\/\/freemius.com\/terms\/\nPrivacy policy: https:\/\/freemius.com\/privacy\/<\/p>\n\n
Image conversion<\/h4>\n\n
Conversion runs entirely inside your own browser using WebAssembly encoders bundled\nwith the plugin. Images are read from, and written back to, your own WordPress site.\nNo image is sent to any third-party service and no external CDN is used.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n- Upload the plugin folder to
\/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code>.<\/li>\n- Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen in WordPress.<\/li>\n
- Open Harvify Image Optimizer in the WordPress admin menu.<\/li>\n
- Choose a source format, choose WebP or AVIF as the target, and scan the library.<\/li>\n
- Select a few test images if desired, adjust quality, and start the selected queue.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
\nWhich conversions are supported?<\/h3><\/dt>\nThe source selector can scan JPEG, PNG, WebP, or AVIF attachments. The target selector can write WebP or AVIF, depending on browser, WordPress, and server image metadata support.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Can I test only a few images first?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. Scan a source format, select only the queue rows you want to process, adjust quality, and start the selected queue. This is recommended before processing a large live media library.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Does it modify theme or plugin files?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo. This version only replaces Media Library attachment files inside the uploads directory. Theme and plugin asset rewriting is intentionally excluded because it can break updates, checksums, and third-party package expectations.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Does this send my images to a remote service?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo. Images are fetched by your browser from your own WordPress site and uploaded back to your WordPress REST API.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Why can AVIF be slower than WebP?<\/h3><\/dt>\nAVIF compression is more CPU intensive, especially when using a WebAssembly encoder in the browser. For large batches, start with a small test selection and keep concurrency low.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Why is AVIF unavailable on some sites?<\/h3><\/dt>\nAVIF output depends on browser WebAssembly support and WordPress\/server support for AVIF media metadata. WordPress added AVIF support in version 6.5, but the hosting image library must also support it.<\/p><\/dd>\n
What happens if the tab is closed?<\/h3><\/dt>\nThe queue is saved in IndexedDB in the same browser. Open Harvify Image Optimizer again and choose Start Selected \/ Resume.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Are original files deleted?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo, not by default. The admin must explicitly enable the delete originals option before starting the queue.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
1.0.29<\/h4>\n\n\n- Added: a single Support<\/strong> entry in the Harvify menu, so you can reach us from\ninside WordPress. Until now no plugin offered a contact route at all. One entry for\nthe whole suite rather than one per plugin.<\/li>\n
- No behaviour changes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.0.28<\/h4>\n\n\n- Added: an External services<\/strong> section to this readme, naming every third-party\nservice the plugin can contact, exactly what is sent, when, and each provider's terms\nand privacy policy. Required for WordPress.org submission.<\/li>\n
- Changed: the
Contributors<\/code> field now names the correct WordPress.org account.<\/li>\n- No behaviour changes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.0.27<\/h4>\n\n\n- Rebuild: the published 1.0.26 package was generated from an earlier tree. Documentation\nonly; no behaviour changes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.0.26<\/h4>\n\n\n- Added: a single Manage licence<\/strong> link on the Plan screen, so an active customer can\ndeactivate this site, change their licence key or re-check their licence without\nneeding a URL from support. No per-plugin Account tab is added.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.0.25<\/h4>\n\n\n- One upgrade link instead of one per plugin.<\/strong> With several Harvify plugins active the\nmenu showed a row called \"Upgrade\" for each of them, all identically labelled, and it kept\nsaying Upgrade to people who had already bought. They are replaced by a single Plan<\/strong>\nscreen that says what the bundle costs, what it covers, and whether your licence is active.<\/li>\n
- The dashboard is quiet again.<\/strong> Each plugin used to add its own \"opt in to make this\nbetter\" notice to the main WordPress dashboard, so five plugins meant five notices. Harvify\nplugins now share one queue: promotional notices appear only on Harvify's own screens, and\nonly one at a time. Licence and account messages are never held back.<\/li>\n
- Fixed: the \"Data & uninstall\" box covered the page.<\/strong> It was being drawn into the admin\nfooter, which WordPress pins to the bottom of the screen, so it floated on top of whatever was\nunderneath it. It now sits in the page like any other card. Saving it also tells you what it\nsaved, instead of just reloading.<\/li>\n
- Fixed: the upgrade screen advertised the wrong number of sites.<\/strong> Several plugins listed\nthe Freelancer and Agency plans as covering 5 and 25 sites. They cover 3 and 10.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.0.24<\/h4>\n\n\n- Packaging fix for the download this plugin actually ships as.<\/strong> The Freemius product slug\nstill held the name originally requested, so every generated ZIP unpacked into\n harvify-image-optimizer-for-webp-and-avif\/ while the plugin's text domain and its\nWordPress.org home are
harvify-image-optimizer-webp-avif<\/code>. A mismatched folder means the text\ndomain no longer matches its directory, and an update served outside WordPress.org would land\nin a second directory alongside the first. The product slug is corrected; no plugin code\nchanged.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n1.0.23<\/h4>\n\n\n- Deleting the plugin can now clean up after itself.<\/strong> It previously had no uninstall routine\nat all, so its options stayed in your database forever with no way to remove them. A new\nData & uninstall<\/strong> control on the plugin's own screen lets you opt in to a full cleanup; the\ndefault is to keep everything, so nothing changes unless you ask for it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.0.22<\/h4>\n\n\n- Fixed: the admin screen could come up completely blank with only \"Internal error.\" above\nit.<\/strong> The plugin keeps its conversion queue in your browser's storage, and it opened that\nstorage before drawing anything. If the browser refused — which it does when the disk is\nfull or the browser profile is damaged — start-up stopped dead and the entire screen was\nreplaced by the browser's own two-word message. WordPress then moved that message to the top of\nthe page, away from the plugin, so there was nothing left to look at and nothing saying which\nplugin had failed.<\/li>\n
- Browser storage is now optional. If it is unavailable the queue is switched off and clearly\nexplained — what failed, that it is your browser rather than your site, and what to do\nabout it — while Settings, Insights and your plan keep working normally<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
- Start-up failures now name the plugin and stay on screen instead of being relocated away from it.<\/li>\n
- The readme never listed the Pro features.<\/strong> Seven Pro capabilities ship in this plugin and\nthe WordPress.org listing described none of them, so nobody reading the page could learn a paid\ntier existed or what it does. Added: AVIF output, automatic
<picture><\/code> delivery, keep-originals\nwith single and bulk restore, auto-queue for new uploads, the Media Library status column,\nsavings reports with CSV export, and per-format quality control.<\/li>\n- Corrected the free feature list, which advertised Pro
<picture><\/code> delivery among the free\ncapabilities.<\/li>\n- Tested up to WordPress 7.1. The readme still declared 7.0, which Plugin Check reports as an\nERROR: a plugin not documented against the current WordPress version is excluded from\nWordPress.org search results.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.0.21<\/h4>\n\n\n- Fixed: the License screen listed the plans and their prices but had no way to buy one.<\/strong>\nThere was no upgrade button and no link to compare plans anywhere on it -- the checkout URL\nwas already available to the screen and simply was not rendered.<\/li>\n
- Fixed: stale copy.<\/strong> The screen told you that \"license activation and checkout will be\nconnected through the future Freemius integration\". That has been wired for months. It now\nexplains what actually happens on a lapse: images you have already converted keep working\nand nothing is deleted, while new Pro actions pause until the licence is renewed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.0.20<\/h4>\n\n\n- Savings Dashboard now shows the debug diagnostics log.<\/strong> The log was being recorded and\nreturned by the reports endpoint but never displayed, so nobody could read it. It now\nappears under the savings table, with a \"Copy diagnostics\" button (clipboard, falling back\nto a JSON download).<\/li>\n
- Removed the \"WooCommerce product priority\" Pro checkbox. It saved a value that nothing\nread -- the queue was never reordered by it -- and the licence screen advertised it. The\nWooCommerce feature that IS built, product labels in the queue, is unchanged and the\nlicence copy now describes that instead.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.0.19<\/h4>\n\n\n- Security: only a licence unlocks Pro.<\/strong> Three leftover developer switches could turn Pro\nfeatures on without one \u2014 including a hook any other plugin on the site could call. All three\nare removed.<\/li>\n
- Harvify \u2192 Tools<\/strong> now opens with a Your licences<\/strong> table: every installed Harvify plugin,\nthe plan it is on, whether Pro features are actually running, and a link to its Account screen.\nFreemius gives each product its own separate Account page, so this is the one place that\nanswers \"what am I on\" across the whole bundle.<\/li>\n
- The repeated \"Opt in to make \u2026 better!\"<\/em> admin notice no longer appears. Licence, plan and\nupdate notices are unaffected \u2014 only the opt-in prompt is suppressed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.0.18<\/h4>\n\n\n- Change: License activation now uses per-plugin key entry \u2014 enter your bundle license key on each Pro plugin to unlock Pro. Improves activation reliability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.0.17<\/h4>\n\n\n- New: \"Optimize now\" in the Media Library (free). JPEG\/PNG rows get a real in-place optimize action \u2014 the image converts to WebP right in your browser with the same engine as the bulk optimizer and replaces the file, showing the savings inline. No more page hop.<\/li>\n
- New: PNG \u2192 JPEG preset (free). One click in the optimizer sets PNG-to-JPEG conversion \u2014 photos exported as PNG shrink massively as JPEG (transparency is flattened). The JPEG target is now labeled \"JPEG (compress \/ convert PNG)\".<\/li>\n
- New: resize on upload (free, off by default). Downscale new JPEG\/PNG\/WebP uploads that exceed a configurable maximum dimension (default 2560px) before WordPress generates sizes. Aspect ratio preserved; GIF animations never touched; existing images unchanged.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.0.16<\/h4>\n\n\n- New admin design system (Harvify Admin Kit): branded header with plan pill, first-run onboarding, section navigation (Optimizer, Insights, Settings, Plan\/Upgrade) and a skeleton loader on start. UI layer only \u2014 the in-browser conversion engine, queue, settings and free\/Pro gating are unchanged.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.0.15<\/h4>\n\n\n- Fix: Pro features now unlock only on the premium build with a valid license (per-plugin gate). Previously \"Pro mode active\" could show with no license \/ on the free build when another Harvify plugin was licensed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.0.14<\/h4>\n\n\n- Admin menu now registers on init (fixes a \"translation loaded too early\" notice under WordPress 6.7+).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.0.13<\/h4>\n\n\n- Pricing now sourced from the shared bundle-license package; upgrade prompts link to the pricing page.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.0.1 \u2013 1.0.12<\/h4>\n\n\n- Foundational releases building on the initial version: browser-based bulk conversion engine (Web Workers + OffscreenCanvas, IndexedDB queue that resumes after the tab is closed), one-source-format-at-a-time Media Library scanning, small test-run selection before the full queue, skip rules (small files, very large images, upload paths, filename patterns), adjustable quality and queue concurrency, authenticated REST upload-back of converted images, optional original-file deletion (off by default), and front-end lazy-loading.<\/li>\n
- Added the Freemius-based free\/Pro framework and Pro sidecar-variant delivery via PHP picture tags.<\/li>\n
- Various stability, browser-compatibility, and internationalization fixes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
